Where to File in Hawaii
Hawaii has a single federal judicial district — the District of Hawaii, headquartered in Honolulu. All federal Dupixent claims from Hawaii are filed in this court. Hawaii follows a modified comparative fault system (51 percent bar) and does not cap non-economic damages in product liability cases. Hawaii's geographic isolation from the continental U.S. creates logistical challenges for multiparty pharmaceutical litigation.
